Sanders was my favorite draft pick in the last 5 years. So I'm excited. Usually me getting excited ends up poorly

Mathis is interesting. Sanders needs to be a dude when he returns.

In formations, first number is the number of running backs. The second number denotes number of tight ends. When someone says running 13, they mean there is 1 rb and 3 te's in the formation.

What McDermott didn't say was "no." Which, in turn, says it all.

Brady: "Coleman is slacking off." McD: "Make him run laps." * Two weeks later. * McD: "How's Coleman's attitude?" Brady: "Better, but his legs are now mammoth, and he's slower." McD: "Good, another body for the D!"

Heavy formation

I’m probably the dumb one here … but what the f*ck is “running the 13?”

Sounds good T. Whenever you vacation in the Tampa Bay Area, send me a PM and we’ll make it happen.

Probably there to schmooze with Bills fans. "Hey, can you put in the good word with Terry or Brandon for me? I'm a really really good OC!"

McDermott is a defensive coach. In his mind it makes sense to run a ball control run first offense. If it works your win percentage goes way up. You control the times of possession and limit the possessions for your opposition. It worked last year and in the pass happy modern nfl it actually looked like the Bills were ahead of the curve in running heavy personal against faster smaller defensive players. The problem is the Bills defense has smaller lighter lb’s and lineman so it works against us also. Only problem is our smaller lb’s and db’s are also slow. Now we can’t stop the good passing teams and we could never stop the good running teams. McD doubled down on the run first, time consuming offense to protect his weak defense to try to keep his injury riddled small slow defense off the field. It didn’t look good but it was working against crappy teams and the Bills had an easy schedule against weak teams. Now they can’t switch gears and turn on the up tempo pass game when they fall behind and teams have figured out their weak offense. McD will always have a defensive philosophy and won’t hire or let an OC run a high powered pass offense even though they have MVP Josh Allen now only handing the ball over and throwing lateral screens. It’s sickening. Teams have figured the Bills out. They aren’t good enough to just impose their will and run into 8 man fronts and they have no one to stretch the field and all the throwing lanes are cluttered up with defenses cheating up. They can’t beat the blitz and there isn’t even room for Josh to run anymore. He is neutered.

I just don't buy that the current receivers corps is the worst in the league as Shakir looks like the best slot WR or one of the best. Dalton Kincaid is one of the best TEs and Knox is not that far behind. Some of the Bills current receivers have the speed to get open and are simply not being utilized properly. We all saw that Josh Palmer can get open and get separation. Keon Coleman is not as bad as so many say and Moore is not that bad either as he simply isn't being thrown to enough. In my view this all rests on the shoulders of OC Joe Brady as his game plan against Miami was bleak. Miami stopped the run and Brady had no answer.

Often injured defense, these players are too soft. This team needs to bring back Gregg Williams. * DISCLAIMER: This suggestion is totally sarcastic, a farcical idea. I am clearly declaring it as such, since Williams will probably claim this one post on a message board is proof that many NFL teams are interested in him. 🤨

I like the way you spun this. Yea I'm wrong but it proves I'm right. Well played.

I really do see your point, however the NFL is now primarily a passing league. Football was great in the days of the Steel Curtain, The Ken Stabler Raiders, The Earl Campbell Oilers, etc. but those days are gone. The Bills are a team with a great quarterback, a very good (imo) OL, and inadequate wide receivers. This is unthinkably stupid, yet they dedicate their best draft resources to cornerbacks and DTs, and have done so since the arrival of McDermott. If they get rid of McDermott, this team would improve immediately. Once again this is jmo.

McD needs to start thinking about promoting Bills O line coach Aaron Kromer to OC, or Bills TE coach Rob Boras or QBs coach Ronald Curry. Hiring a passing game specialist after the season. My take is Bills OC Joe Brady is mailing it in...

Teams figured out how to defend Joe Bradys passing attack and he's not good enough to counter it. That's my guess.

Someone please enlighten me the difference between the 2024 offensive roster and the 2025 offensive roster and now suddenly the passing game doesn't work? Seems to me that this years receivers group is actually better than last years and yet now suddenly it stinks unless they get a #! WR. Makes no sense.

He still going to be fired at the end of the year, and will never get a second chance as head coach. He can be an OC somewhere. On that note, I can hear it in McDs pressers his frustrations with Brady. I don’t think he’s retained by the Bills and definitely not getting the nod for a HC job.

I believe that McDermott and Brady have settled on this offensive approach out of necessity rather than what they want to play in order to compensate for bad personnel decisions by Beane and the scouts in the draft and free agency. If the defense didn't suck and the offense had good receivers the strategy would change to open up the passing game. Add in problems with injuries which might be due to a bad training program and staff and this team is a mess with a generational QB in Allen and a great RB in Cook. If the front office hit on more 1-4 round players they could maximize Allen and the performance of the offense instead of compensating for the team's weaknesses that are mostly on defense.

keon is slow and I think he himself realizes he is in over his head. that and he seems to have an IQ between a beet and a cabbage. said it many times ladd would've fixed many things with Shakir.

Don’t forget we still have Carter a 3rd round pick two years ago out until next year. Lucky we have Phillips and Mathis that have done a decent job .

Weird sort of argument to make. You are clearly right, i think Beane could have made more than 2 phone calls. I suspect he did to be fair But its also fairly obvious that he got stuck up enough on this possibility that he ran out of time on the other possible deals or came up short on his other offers because he preferred this possible deal. Weeks before this, fan board fans managed to conclude the Jets and Dolphins wouldn't trade with the Bills - so its not that surprising that fans are flabbergasted he was wasting his time on this rather than other deals. He did get played, he wasted his time on deals that didnt come off - and that even fans could see weren't going to happen.
